Manchester United are open to bringing in another centre-back following the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille. However, further moves depend on player outgoings.
Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt is still on United’s list, but any move will proceed under specific conditions set by the club. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is also a target, though his high asking price of £70-75 million is a sticking point.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that de Ligt remains keen on a move to United. The club is considering its options and waiting for the right circumstances, including player departures, before making further defensive additions.
